La Original Michoacana

Profile

Wedged between a dental practice and an attorney’s office in Bishop Arts, this Mexican paleteria sells ice cream (in offbeat flavors such as pine nut, avocado, and guanabána, a fruit native to Latin America), spicy mango sorbet, and, of course, paletas. The water- or cream-based bars on a stick are made with fresh, local fruit. Order one, and the friendly server will gladly dip it in chocolate or roll it in coconut flakes. If you’re parched, try a mangonada. The traditional thirst quencher is made by mixing orange and lime juices with bits of fresh mango and chili powder.
